My name is Jana Markova, and I am Mental Health Professional based in Prague. I am offering individual play and movement-based therapy for children (2-8 years old) experiencing conditions such as anxiety, depression, emotional disturbances, traumas, or neurodevelopmental disorders.
In my work, I merge principles of non-directive therapeutic play with expressive, movement-based approaches and sandplay techniques. My approach is very intuitive and integrative in order to meet the needs of each individual client. Collateral meetings for parents are an integral part of the treatment and are included in the sessions.
Part of the therapy sessions can be covered by the VZP insurance through their mental health program. The insurance offer up to CZK 500 per session for 10 sessions. I am more than happy to discuss the details with you upon our first meeting.
I work in in English, Czech and French.
Who am I?
My name is Jana Markova and I gained my Mental Health education through the Dance/Movement Therapy Master's program at Pratt Institute in New York City - a city, where I lived for 6 years and that stays close to my heart.
I had been working with diverse children's populations since 2019. As a Mental Health Clinician at University Settlement, I worked with preschool children affected by trauma. I also served children with ASD, ADHD and developmental delays at the Joan Fenichel Therapeutic Nursery at the League School in Brooklyn. For several years, I collaborated with a non-profit organization POW! - Power of We! creating free enrichment programs for children of all ages and backgrounds.
